As reported by CNN, New York Daily News, TIME, etc., residents in the tony ATL nabe of Buckhead organized a protest Monday about Biebs’ relocation because it “can be nothing but bad for our children,” according to the group’s message. But it seems Bieber simply continues to be the butt of the joke.

But, to the media, their words were persuasive and, to be fair, all too familiar when it comes to bad boy Bieber: “As a community here in Buckhead, we have worked hard to achieve our goals and get to where we are. Justin Bieber’s relocation to Atlanta can be nothing but bad for our children, as well as the community,” the coalition’s mission statement reads. “Some can’t even let their children play in the driveway without fear; he has raced vehicles under the influence, before. What’s to say he won’t do it again? As a home owner down the street from this residence, one can assume many people will be contacting real estate agents soon enough. Please do not allow a child to ruin what we have worked so hard to obtain.”

But it really was nothing more than an elaborate prank by the hosts of an Atlanta morning radio show called The Regular Guys who used interns to conduct interviews with local and national media outlets, including BBC and TMZ.
